Hi,
This question is related to the support which CMUCL provides for
processes , threads.
There are Common Lisp functions like : process-lock,
with-process-lock.

Are there any corresponding functions in CMUCL. I looked at the
functions index in the CMUCL documentation , at the CMUCL website, but
I could not find any functions with deal with synchronization of
processes. I found process-wait, process-kill etc but coulnd not find
any for synchronization.

Can someone guide me in this regard.

Amit

Hi,

the CMUCL thread interface is based on CLIM. A brief description and 
function reference can be found here:
